That leaves Palace in pole position to sign the former Burnley and Bournemouth man, who made 14 appearances for Liverpool last season.

And Newcastle United are also looking to bolster their striking options, with West Bromich Albion's Salomon Rondon the man believed to be close to making a move.

According to the Shields Gazette , Rafa Benitez is willing to pay a £4m loan fee for the striker with the option to make the move permanent next summer for an additional £15m.

Rondon has a £16.5m release clause in his contract following West Brom's relegation to the Championship.

The 28-year-old only scored four goals for the club last season and it is thought that Newcastle would like a 'try before you buy' arrangement for the Venezuelan.
